Variety traits

Eggplant Vigor

Solanum melongena L.

An indicator of seed germination intensity under field conditions and the rate of vegetative plant development, which determines the planting pattern and bush pruning strategy.

In the reference 67 varieties crop Eggplant, where this is mentioned in the description.

In relation to eggplant seeds, vigor reflects the ability to produce uniform emergence in non-regulated conditions. It is assessed by the sand germination method over 10 days, determining the percentage of emerged sprouts or their total biomass. Seed germination rate is not a direct indicator of vigor.

For vegetative plants, vigor is determined by the height of the main stem and its rate of thickening during various phases of ontogenesis. This trait correlates with varietal characteristics, such as differences between East Asian and West Asian groups, as well as nutrient availability.

Vigor influences the choice of plant density and planting pattern, as well as bush pruning methods. Excessive development of eggplant vegetative mass requires proper pruning to maintain a balance with generative organs, as overly high growth energy can negatively impact yield.
